HR40 • 5 This receiver circuit is ideal for discovering ju st how simple a t rue “Communications Receiver” can be. Th at’s right- there is a BIG difference between the Ra m sey HR40 and other simple short wave radio circuits we can try to build. Yet it is very easy to build. Our HR-series are by f ar the easiest to build of all the Ramsey k ...
